Definitions

A public discourse by a Buddhist teacher, similar to a sermon or homily, and distinguished from a lecture by being shorter and less formal.

Examples

“I'd never given a dharma talk before, much less in the local Lao dialect, to hundreds of people. I just got up there, and he said, "Tell them what you know of the dharma, go to it."”
“It is important to note that a dharma talk is not a lecture, although it has a didactic purpose. Such a talk is given usually as an accompaniment to a period of meditation.”
